As wanderers and travel experts who are based in sunny Queensland, we know precisely where to take your kids on their next favourite vacation. Brace yourself for incredible memories.

Sunshine Coast Family Holidays

This stretch from Caloundra to Mooloolaba boasts one of the highest sunshine readings in the world. It’s a holiday destination with the lot, from pristine beaches to lush hinterland, laidback charm to adrenaline-pumping activities. Just north of Brisbane, it’s perfectly placed for everything that families will love. Noosa will delight with its golden beaches, boutique shopping, and beautiful resorts. Noosa River is perfect for family fishing trips, picnics, swimming, or kayaking. The Eumundi Markets is a crafting institution that deserves many hours of meandering. Underwater World is less than an hour’s drive away and the kids will love coming face-to-face with brilliant marine life in the underground tunnels. Take a day trip to Australia Zoo at Beerwah for the ultimate wildlife experience!

Hamilton Island Family Holidays

For a tropical island holiday where you and your family can leave the stresses of everyday life on the opposite shore, Hamilton Island is the place to go! There’s no shortage of activities at this family-friendly resort. Go wild together on the go-kart track, get swinging at the mini-golf course, or try your hand at windsurfing on Catsesye beach. Make the most of the Clownfish Club, where kids from 6 weeks to 14 years will have a ball and make new friends with a huge range of activities while you enjoy some adult time. There are also art classes, a bowling alley, and natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach within a day’s reach. This one will be a holiday to remember, so get your camera ready for fun moments and family memories.

Gold Coast Family Holidays

Last but absolutely not least, the sunny GC. If five major theme parks haven’t caught your kids’ attention already, they will when they arrive! Spend the day at Surfer’s Paradise building sandcastles at world-renowned beaches, splashing about in the patrolled swell, or venture into Burleigh National Park for a couple of easy walks that showcase ancient volcanic columns, lush rainforest, and rocky foreshore. Laze about on the beautiful calm shores of Tallebudgera Creek, where the water feels almost magical. There are plenty of attractions to choose from, from the adrenaline rush of Dreamworld to the drama of Australian Outback Spectacular. Tech-savvy kids and parents will love Holoverse, the new futuristic theme park in Southport with alternate worlds made of light and cutting-edge technology, and Infinity in Surfer’s Paradise. There’s so much fun to be had here, you’ll never want to leave. Trust me, I’m looking at Broadbeach right now!
